These figures are measured under Samsung’s standard conditions and shooting conditions and may vary depending on the user’s methods. Important information about battery usage. When the camera is not used, turn off the camera power. Please remove the battery if the camera will not be used for long periods. Batteries can lose power over time and are prone to leaking if kept inside the camera. Low temperatures (below 0°C) can affect the performance of the battery and you may experience reduced battery life. Batteries will usually recover at normal temperatures. During extended use of the camera, the camera body may become warm. This is perfectly normal. When you use earphones, do not remove the battery while the camera is turning on. It may generate a loud noise.
Connecting to a power source You can charge the rechargeable battery (SLB-0937) by using the SAC-47 KIT which consists of the AC adapter (SAC-47) and the USB cable (SUC-C3). When the SAC-47 and SUC-C3 are combined, they can be used as an AC cable.
Using an AC cable: Connect the AC adapter to the USB cable. It can be used as a power cable.
Important information about USB cable usage. Use a USB cable (SUC-C3) with the correct specification. If the camera is connected to the PC through a USB hub: connect the camera directly to the PC. If the camera and other devices are connected to the PC at the same time: remove other device. If the USB cable is connected to a port located on the front of the PC: remove the cable and connect it to a port located on the back of the PC. If the USB port of the PC doesn’t meet the Power output standard (4.2V, 400mA), the camera may not be charged.
Using a USB cable: Remove the AC adapter (SAC-47). You can download stored images to your PC (p.123) or supply the power to your camera through the USB cable.

Instructions on how to use the memory card Be sure to format the memory card (see p.88) if you are using a newly purchased memory for the first time, or if it contains data that the camera cannot recognise, or if it contains images captured with a different camera. Turn off the camera power whenever the memory card is being inserted or removed. Repeated use of the memory card will eventually reduce the memory card’s performance. Should this be the case, you will need to purchase a new memory card. Wear and tear on the memory card is not covered by the Samsung warranty. The memory card is an electronic precision device. Do not bend, drop or subject the memory card to any heavy impact. Do not store the memory card in an environment with strong electronic or magnetic fields, e.g. near loud speakers or TV receivers. Please do not use or store in an environment where there are extremes in temperature. Do not allow the memory card to become dirty or to come into contact with any liquid. Should this happen, clean the memory card with a soft cloth. Please keep the memory card in its case when not in use. During and after periods of extended use, you may notice that the memory card is warm. This is perfectly normal. Do not use a memory card that is used in another digital camera. To use the memory card in this camera, format the memory card using this camera. Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.

If the memory card is subjected to any of the following, the recorded data may become corrupted: – When the memory card is used incorrectly. – If the power is switched off or the memory card is removed while recording, deleting (formatting) or reading. Samsung cannot be held responsible for lost data. It is advisable to copy important data onto other media as back-up e.g. floppy disks, hard disks, CD etc. If there is insufficient memory available: A [Memory Full!] message will appear and the camera will not operate. To optimise the amount of memory in the camera, replace the memory card or delete unnecessary images stored on the memory card.
Don’t remove the memory card when the camera status lamp is blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card.
Instructions on how to use the memory card The camera can use SD/ SDHC Memory Cards and MMC (Multi Media Cards). Card pins
When using a 256MB MMC memory, the specified shooting capacity will be as follows. These figures are approximate as image capacities can be affected by variables such as subject matter and memory card type. Recorded image size
Write protect switch Label
Still image
The SD/ SDHC memory card has a write protect switch that prevents image files from being deleted or formatted. By sliding the switch to the bottom of the SD memory card, the data will be protected. By sliding the switch to the top of the SD memory card, the data protection will be cancelled. Slide the switch to the top of the SD memory card before taking a picture.
